Eliminator Fiberglass RC Boat

thingiverse

This remix isn't a detailed tutorial but I have included the files I redesigned to make this project come to life. I took the original files and created a 3D printed mold you can bolt together using M3 bolts. Knowledge related to fiber glassing is required to complete this project. Disclaimer: This project is a huge amount of work I suggest the 3D printed version if you are new to fiber glassing. Almost everything on this boat is custom. Tips and additional info: 1. I have no templates available for the windows or latch locks. 2. To secure the front of the lid I designed my own aluminum brackets. 3. The Lid will bow when popped out of the mold you will need a cross section epoxied in to stop this from happening. 4. Flex shaft was cut shorter to position the motor where I wanted it. 5. To stop the teflon liner from rotating under load I had to fold it back over the pipe and put a zip tie and some glue. 6. When fiber glassing don't brush in the gel kote just pour it in and rotate the boat around until you get it evenly spread across. **The reason we use a adjustable stinger drive is because the angle has to be very slightly tilted down to get the perfect propulsion, you will need to spend time adjusting the angle. This is the main complaint with this boat in the comment section.** Body: - 3 Rolls of filament. - Polyester fiberglass Resin - Fiberglass Matting - Fiberglass Hardener - Fiberglass Release agent - Gel Kote Hardware and Electronics: 2X 4S 4200mah 60C XT60 in parallel (You will need to make ur own connectors). https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32963563253.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dwZaARw Rocket 3670 2280KV Motor https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001420604311.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dtJsHww 20KG Servo of your choice https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1943129663.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.7b2763aat4o9Qb&algo_pvid=501e5d75-9c9d-4092-8949-a5e299ee9454&algo_exp_id=501e5d75-9c9d-4092-8949-a5e299ee9454-1&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2266387439503%22%7D FlyColor 120A ESC https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32955728818.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dwpUSVi Aluminum 108x130mm Rudder with Water Pickup https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32859348922.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dtJsHww Turn Fins High Precision Turn Fins 55mm https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32627432360.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dtJsHww CNC Machined Adjustable Aluminum Turn Fins High Precision Turn Fins 55/67mm Length For RC Boat Left 4.76 45mm Propeller https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32852305990.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dtJsHww 106X57mm 36mm 0202 Motor Mount https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32862155089.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dtJsHww 5mm to 4.76mm 001 Flex Shaft Coupler https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32598777090.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dtJsHww Aluminum Strut Stinger Drive https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32868685084.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dtJsHww 4.76mm 3/16'' Flexible Shaft Left 400mm https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32870485820.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dtJsHww Rubber push rod boot https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32863897622.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dtJsHww Double ended nipple https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32862400567.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dwZaARw Antenna Mount https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32610423743.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dwZaARw Water outlet https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003044595065.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dwZaARw 4X6 silicon tubing (Get 2m) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000833290804.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dwZaARw Y adapter (5mm) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32865513979.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dwZaARw Lid latches (Get 4 if you are planning to put 1 in every corner). https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32876251497.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dDVsAoG XT90 Connectors https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001314089997.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.54805cdfetcpfh&algo_pvid=1054905e-a65a-4d15-beb7-cd5d53ae4d66&algo_exp_id=1054905e-a65a-4d15-beb7-cd5d53ae4d66-12&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2212000015664743832%22%7D Very soft compressible weather stripping (found some at lowes).
